Peter Lay

GIS ANALYST

Peter has been with Earth Data Incorporated since early 2021. He graduated from the University of Maryland, majoring in Geographic Science with a minor in GIS (Geographic Information Systems).

Geographic Science, particularly GIS, interested him because he enjoyed the challenges of organizing data effectively and the many tools used to display the findings. The field of GIS is so flexible that Lay took the opportunity to study GIS in his spare time to explore the options.

He is a self-starter that continues to learn, is also a trumpeter, avid reader, and Star Wars fan. Perhaps his most enjoyable way to spend time away from GIS is his ongoing enthusiasm for the popular Magic: The Gathering strategy card game. Given his love for organizing data, it is no surprise that this challenging strategic game is his preference.
